Are they talking about the timing adjustment (standard blade screw under the distributor body that one uses to set the ignition advance?
Yes. Basic initial timing procedure was to set the scale portion in the center or 0 degrees. You would then loosen the nut under the dist and rotate the dist in the clamp to get the initial timing correct. Once that was done and clamp nut tightened then it was a simple task in the future to loosen the visible screw and rotate the few degrees +/- the slot would allow to fine tune things for different gasoline.
